    I'm so glad I found this place! I was able to text them, complete my paperwork, and schedule a test run for my dogs all in the same day. They were able to take my dogs last minute in a holiday weekend. The things that stood out to me about this place over other boarding places are the price, how much play times the dogs get, and the staff. Everyone there was friendly and answered all the questions I had. They sent pics and updated me on how my dogs were doing. I also added a bath and nail trim for the dogs. The dogs came back exhausted from all the playing and smell clean from their baths. I definitely recommend this place. I already booked my dogs next staycation.

    Staycation and their staff go above and beyond! My Annie girl gets so excited when I take her. They are so caring, helpful and I feel comfortable with my sweet girl with them!

    The staff here is incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful. Our puppy loves coming--she gets so excited as soon as we're just a block away! She always comes home ready to rest after a fun day. I definitely recommend their daycare. They even go out of their way to send daily pictures. Thank you, Staycation--Andarna loves you all!

    We found a great place for our doggie duo. Sophie and Toby ( our miniature Dachshunds) had a great time at Staycation for Dogs. I think after the visit they are more well adjusted to being with other dogs. From searching to booking to dropping off to picking up our pups was simple and easy. The whole experience was great and we look forward to sending our doggies here the next time we are out of town. I usually find good vendors on Yelp and this place was no exception. My inquiry was answered in a timely manner and booking with the team was simple. The place is so easy to find and it's very close to our house in Escondido. The place looked clean and inviting and the staff were easy to connect with and they seemed to love their jobs. Who can beat spending time with pups all day? I was nervous about how Sophie and Toby would like the place, but when we dropped them off they seemed happy and didn't mind being handed over to strangers. The team sent us the photos attached. And I think Toby (the black and tan dachshund) had a smile on his face. I was glad they had grooming services because we always neglect cutting their nails and cleaning their ears. Pick up was sinch and the two of them smelled nice and clean. All in all the pups seemed to enjoy themselves and they look forward to when they get to visit the place again.

    On our way to Legoland with our grandchildren we stayed at a hotel north of Los Angeles where my baby was attacked by two large dogs. Although she was physically ok two days later I was hesitant to leave her at Staycation for Dogs as she was still a bit traumatized. The girls at "Staycation" assured me that they would watch after her and let me know immediately if she had any issues. One lovely girl even gave me a hug as she knew I was worrying. They texted me pictures of my baby and let me know she was doing fine. I can't thank them enough for the care they gave to my sweet Paige. We were able to enjoy Legoland with family as planned.

    My dog Parker LOVES Staycation! They are so nice - answered all my crazy "first time having a big dog mom" questions and were very thorough and quick to respond. My favorite part are the pictures they send of him living his best life each time he is there. I like that they performed a temperament test to make sure he was matched with other dogs of his same personality, and love that they will provide a free half day of day care to perform the test! I am able to call or even text them during his stay to see how he is doing, and they will even send him home with a bath if requested (additional charge of course). Parker comes home exhausted and happy as a clam, and I feel good knowing he got some good exercise and socialization time in. Highly recommend Staycation for Dogs!

    Our shih tzu loves going to daycare every week! He has a blast playing with his buddies and loves the staff.

    Staycation for Dogs is absolutely wonderful! We tried 3 doggie daycares before finding this gem. The difference was clear within minutes and as my dog, Roxy had an immediate comfort and excitement for the place. She was comfortable quickly and made friends quickly. Roxy loves going and literally leaps as she runs to the door. The staff is kind and caring. They know all of the dogs and their doggie friends, ensuring each family has personalized care. I also love that they have a routine and nap time for the dogs. Daycare naps have helped Roxy at home when we crate her. All in all, we love Staycation and highly recommend it!

    Took super good care of our dog, reasonable prices, and they keep you updated throughout the day

    Excellent communication, lots of pictures through out her stay. Clover was a happy pup for the 4 days that i had to leave her. I felt confident and well informed that she was having a good time. She came home clean and well adjusted and socialized. I'm so happy to find a place where I know she's happy while I'm gone. Staycation for dogs is the perfect name for the experience that the pups receive. Thank you!

    Staycation for Dogs saves me on busy days!!! Bruno is the most active dog and I wouldn't be able to sleep without daycare! He comes home tired everyday! We always know he's safe at daycare.

    I'm so happy I found this place! I've been taking my pup, Scarlett for almost a year for both day care and boarding. She loves it, and when I pick her up she's happy and tired! The staff are all really great people who obviously all love dogs. The facility is large, with many areas for the dogs to play. Making arrangements to drop my dog off for day care is simple and the price is competitive with other doggy day care places in the area. I tend to be a bit over protective with my dog, and I always feel confident leaving her at Staycation because I trust the staff to take great care of her.

From the very beginning, Misty was incredible. She carved out time weeks before the wedding for us to meet each other and talk about our dog's (Louie) temperament, our expectations, and the full game plan for the big day. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was prepared and genuinely cared about making everything go smoothly. On the wedding day, she was amazing. She arrived early to the Airbnb and was able to get used to walking and handling Louie. She walked Louie down the aisle, handled him and helped him greet guests during the ceremony and cocktail hour, and kept everything completely stress-free for us. She kept us updated via text throughout the day, and when it was time to drop him back off at our Airbnb in the evening, she sent photos and updates so we knew he was settled and happy. She even left us the sweetest wedding gift, which was such a thoughtful touch. Misty was kind, professional, organized, and clearly loves what she does. We are SO grateful for her and would absolutely book Dogs on the Run again. Highly, highly recommend!

    My review is based on camp and boarding w/camp…read more We were searching for the right doggy day-camp, so called a few places. I was told there's an evaluation process (which was expected since I had to do this with other potential facilities), and Josh helped answer all my questions! He explained everything clearly and even sent me photos and video of my pup to let me know how he was doing (he settled in nicely and was doing well)! There isn't a time limit for the evaluation, so I kept my pup there all day to let him have the full experience. I've since bought the punchcard which has two options. 10 daycamps for $400 or 20 for $700. We dropped our dog off a few times over summer for day camp, and almost a handful of times we were called just a couple hours after drop off because they had to bring the dogs in due to the heat. We were still charged a full day of camp. I get the full day charge if we leave our dog there all day, but it would've been great if they worked with us to charge half days (prorate it), or give a few extra comp days to compensate if we pick him up right away (which is almost always before 12). One time they noticed he rolled in his own pee while in the kennel, so they offered to give him a complimentary bath which I appreciated! Now onto my boarding experience. First and foremost, the rate for boarding is: $63. The rate for boarding with camp is $87. I signed up for boarding with camp, and asked a few times on different occasions about the charges for boarding with camp (ie. what's the cutoff time that I need to pick him up by, etc) - and was told 12pm. I asked if there was flexibility to pick him up before 3 since I indicated in the application - but the price listed is per day - so if you want your pup to have camp on the day of pickup, that's an extra fee. Multiple people told me in person and over the phone that I "should be ok" because I put it on my application - so I didn't think I'd be charged extra. So watch out for this and your pickup times if you decide to board here. They won't honor what you were told over the phone, and will only reference the contract. Also, if you sign up for boarding with camp, you are billed separately for each of the services, which creates some confusion but the math adds upcorrectly. Our dog ended up with conjunctivitis after his second boarding stay, so we were hit with an unexpected vet bill on top of that. Overall, the hours are convenient and I'm glad we found the right place for our dog, but the customer service / communication aspect for boarding needs improvement. Shoutout to Josh for all you do! It's your service and TLC you give our pup that keeps us coming back.

We've had no out-of-control barking incidents; he can be tethered and remain quiet. He's very good on walks, moving from "heel" to "break" and back to "heel" again. He's very responsive to the "off" command, which we use primarily to keep him off the furniture and out of the kitchen. Last week we had friends over for dinner and after his initial excitement he was a good boy, lying nearby content and chewing on a bone. We even attended the Humane Society Walk for Animals at Kit Carson Park, and with hundreds of dogs and people and non-stop activities, he was again a very well-behaved boy. We are so appreciative of the work that Michelle did with Monty. He is now the dog we always hoped he would be - happy, well-behaved, and living his best life!

I'd also like to mention they did a home drop off for us (since I'm still heavily pregnant) and spent over an HOUR with my husband and I going over all of the new things he has learned + even took a walk with us in the neighborhood to address another issue we had with reactivity. We were left with a sheet of all his new & enforced behaviors to keep track of along with super chewer toys and treats.

    This was our second time using the Escondido location, and it confirmed that this facility is not…read moreequipped or operated to responsibly manage large or anxious dogs, despite advertising itself as a professional daycare. During our first experience in May 2024 (boarding), our dog, Chika, was labeled anxious and given a "first strike" for snapping at other dogs. We had never received this sort of feedback before and were concerned. She was placed in private care for the remainder of that stay, and no further issues occurred. Between May 2024 and December 2025, Chika attended numerous daycare facilities in social play without incident. We gave the Escondido location another opportunity on December 20, 2025. Within three hours, we received a voicemail from Daniel (manager) stating that Chika was digging at and jumping on the walls and that the Escondido facility's walls are not as sturdy as those at the Miramar location. We were also told that she would NOT be welcome back at Escondido after that day. We do not dispute Chika's behavior, but the problem was the lack of management. We are paying customers and expect staff to actively handle the situation, not simply report it and escalate to removal or ban. There was no indication that reasonable steps were taken (removal from the area, breaks, walks, or calming measures) before contacting us. Notifying the customer is appropriate and appreciated; failing to attempt resolution is not. Chika was eventually placed in a cage for the remainder of the day, which was acceptable. However, communication did not indicate that efforts were made to reduce her stress or ensure her comfort. We paid $60 per dog (two dogs; our other dog's behavior was deemed acceptable) and expected professional supervision and care. There are serious safety and operational concerns. The facility has thin, easily damaged walls, is understaffed (per the manager and owner), and staff are not consistently present in dog areas. Dogs are sometimes monitored via cameras rather than in-person supervision, according to Daniel (manager). This location also maintains a low number of dogs, which aligns with how quickly dogs are removed or banned instead of being managed. According to the daycare, Chika may react this way because calmer areas stress her and busier areas keep her mind occupied--interpret that as you will. Interactions with Daniel (manager) and Brian (owner) were unacceptable. Brian called us on December 21st, which we initially appreciated as a chance to discuss the situation. However, the conversation quickly became hostile and dismissive, with Brian stating they "could bill you for the damage, but aren't," telling me to "take some introspection," and calling me "rude" and "ridiculous for asking for a refund." He also said, "open your own daycare and manage it how you want." All phone calls with management are recorded, so there is a record of these interactions. No accommodation was offered. Had a partial refund been provided, this review would not exist! The only professional interaction was with Whitney at the front desk. We love the Miramar location, and it's disappointing that our experience at Escondido came to this. Owners of large or anxious dogs should proceed with caution. This location does not actively manage stressed dogs or work toward resolution.
